Thats kind of silly. He just gonna pick up every kill in every team fight and be big anyway...

That, or you focus him first and his AD carry kills everything.

with his lack of sustain and mobility i could definitely see lulu or a wingsofdeath style kennen completely shutting him down.

I faced AD Ken top as Darius, was pretty easy. He would harass and push, I farmed under tower and if you land hook + auto + Q + W he will take a ton of damage. Darius is a great gank assister as well, the hook into slow sets up so well and he does great damage.

I've been going 2 dorans into BT into GA then other tanky items. Working out so far.

the only thing i see shutting darius down is jesus reaching his hand out from the sky and placing a barrier preventing him from leaving the fountain

You mean wriggles into AP?

xPeke was doing that at least 6 months ago. It's not the "wingsofdeath" style.

How do I deal woth darius top? He seema to come out ahead on every trade.

He has no lifesteal, no escape, and if you stand close to him to avoid the bonus damage his Q gives on the outer ring of the ability, you'll survive. Or pick a ranged top like Vlad/Kennen and harass his ass back to the fountain.

He can't overextend unless he had a big lead early on. No escape, meaning he'll just have to bend over if your jungler decides to gank.

It's the exact same thing with slightly different items to fit the Wriggle's nerf.

Shouldn't Kayle hard counter Darius? You get to kite him forever in lane and your ult directly counter his ultimate. He pushes really well but so do you. I don't see the downside here unless you mess up and let him hook you.

His hook outranges her auto attack.

Kayle counters a lot of top laners, simply because she's ranged.

Wait, if you stack Janna Shield on Urgot Shield, you have to kill the additive Shield health before either effect (the AD and the slow) fall off?

And he has a slow as well.

I dunno, i definitely wouldn't say it a super hard counter. I think Darius has way more kill potential than Kayle does. I could see Kayle winning, but I definitely don't think it would be a hard counter thing.
